When certain folks have no real defense after being caught misrepresenting the truth, whether accidently or knowingly, they and their supporters often resort to knit-picking details and parsing definitions in order to obfuscate the issue.

The point is..someone took a video and 'reduced' it to just the parts that a gullible, careless watcher might construe as indicating wrongdoing, where there was none. And some broadcasters who ought to know better, (and who probably did), used that partially shown, 'reduced' video, without checking for the entire thing, to embarrass those they consider their opponents. The exact order of the unfair tactics and poor judgment of the perpetrators is a matter for those who make their living investigating such things. IT WAS A SETUP AND A TRICK!!!

The really sad thing is that, because of the sensitivity and hair-trigger nature of racial concerns, some on the left bit on the bait also.
